Diameter 9.85 inches Condition Excellent Price for the pair $660 History The Wars of the Roses were a series of English civil wars for control of the throne of England fought between supporters of two English rival branches of the royal House of Plantagenet: the House of Lancaster (associated with a red rose), and the House of York (whose symbol was a white rose). The conflict lasted through many sporadic episodes between 1455 and 1487; however, there was fighting before and after this period between the houses. The final victory went to a claimant of the Lancastrian party, Henry Tudor, Earl of Richmond, who defeated the last Yorkist king, Richard III, at the Battle of Bosworth Field. After assuming the throne as Henry VII, he married Elizabeth of York, the eldest daughter and heir of Edward IV, thereby uniting the two claims. The House of Tudor ruled the Kingdom of England until 1603, with the death of Elizabeth I, granddaughter of Henry VII and Elizabeth of York. The use of a dragon in British armorials is widespread. A dragon was the standard of a Roman cohort. After the Romans left Britain it was used by both the Britons and the Saxons. After the battle of Hastings in 1066 the dragon standard was adopted by the Normans. Henry III had a dragon standard made to be placed in the re-built Abbey at Westminster. Henry V used a dragon standard at the battle of Agincourt...
